Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 727 France Avenue in Excelsior, owned by the Clark Family Trust and constructed in 1912, has experienced a range of maintenance and safety-related issues over the past year. Of particular concern are recent infrastructure problems, including an accepted report of a collapsed sidewalk and a missing side sewer vent cover as of December 2024. The property has also generated numerous parking-related complaints between November 2024 and January 2025, with four documented incidents of illegal parking, including vehicles on the sidewalk, though not all resulted in citations being issued. Earlier records show some building improvements, including a completed bedroom door replacement and closet construction in 1993, and an attempt to install a smoke detection system from the same year, though that permit is listed as expired.

The building's recent maintenance history reveals a pattern of property management responses to various municipal service requests, particularly regarding street cleaning and debris removal, with at least three instances of garbage issues being logged between December 2024 and January 2025. There was also a street space permit issued in 2015, though the purpose and relevance of this permit are not specified in the records. Two tenant buyout transactions are recorded at a nearby address (647 Vienna Street), one for $20,000 on March 11, 2016, and another for $30,000 on December 4, 2017, though it should be noted that these occurred at a different property and may not directly relate to 727 France Avenue.

Risk rating

How 727 France Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.0%
Moderate concern 13.6%
Severe concern 13.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
